I am not Italian, but my mother had a dress shop next to this fablous Italian bakery. Whenever i went to the shop, i got the 'S' cookies, and they became a great part of my childhood. My mother has passed, and i moved these cookies. It brings me so much comfort and good memories. Thank you for the recipe ❤ i hope you're doing well ❤

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Wow, thanks for sharing your story! I'm happy the recipe could bring back good memories for you. Thank you for watching my channel. If there is any other recipe that you would like me to make, please feel free to let me know.

[@newtexan1]

We are Sicilian l. I grew up eating these! My mom still makes them! She calls them S’s and O’s because sometimes she makes a few “O’s”. This is the best cookie for coffee!

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you so much. For the O shaped please do check out my casatielli cookies. So so good too.

[@user-un5pb1fq2k]

Lovely to hear from you. Stai bene xxx

Saluti Alessandra, i bake these cookies frequently and always watch your video before making. Truly a family favourite and I enjoy one biscuit for breakfast daily. (Well sometimes another during the day with coffee)!!! Love from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 😃

The first time I tried your recipe, they didn't rise and were dry - I used American baking powder, this time I used the Paneangeli Lievito - oh my goodness what a difference! They're perfect. Wondering if the measurement for American baking powder is off?

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Dear Jo, I’m sorry that the first time it just wasn’t right. Glad it worked with the pan degli Angeli. You can go up to 3 tsp of American BP. I will do a test trial with the BP. Thank you always for watching 💖

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

In onore del tuo nome ecco a te gli S cookies! 🥰🥰💖💖

[@tildaroberti4658]

Hi Alessandra.im from Ontario and made the s cookies today...fabulous except didn't crack on top of like yours.what went wrong do u think?

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Ciao from New Jersey! I'm so glad you tried the S cookies and found them fabulous! Thank you for watching! Regarding the cracks, there could be a couple of reasons why they didn't form: Oven Temperature: The oven temperature might have been slightly too low, preventing the cookies from rising and cracking properly. Make sure your oven is accurately calibrated and try increasing the temperature by 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit next time. Baking Time: If the cookies were slightly underbaked, they might not have had enough time to rise and crack. Keep a close eye on them in the oven and bake them until the edges are lightly golden brown but the centers are still soft. Dough Consistency: The dough might have been a bit too wet or too dry. If it was too wet, the cookies will spread more and might not crack. If it was too dry, they might not rise enough to crack. Make sure to follow the recipe measurements carefully and adjust the dough consistency if needed. Don't worry, even without the cracks, the cookies are still delicious! Let me know if you have any other questions or want to try troubleshooting again. I'm happy to help!

[@deb4636]

I didn’t add the lemon zest! Can I add it to the chilled dough? Or will they taste good without lemon?

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Sure you can. Just work it right in the dough. I’m sure they’ll be delicious. Buon Natale 🎄💫

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Thank you so much got making my recipes. 💖

[@mariac.6151]

Ciao Alessandra. Can you use oil instead of butter?

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

Cara Maria, You can very soon use oil. Let me know how they turn out. 💕 thank you for watching.

[@mariac.6151]

Ciao Alessandra. I used 3/4 cup (6 oz) of olive oil. They turned out great. I think the olive oil makes them a bit “lighter” as where with the butter they’re a bit “denser”. They great either way.

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

@@mariac.6151 thank you for letting me know. I will certainly try with the oil too. 💕

Hi Kathleen, You can replace butter for shortening. Hope this helps. Sorry for replying so late. Not sure how I missed your message. Happy new year

[@vanessagasparvieira2781]

I’ve tried this recipe many times however my dough is just too sticky. I’ve tried to add flour, but this makes the cookie a bit hard. When you say butter, you mean butter butter (or margarine?) Is 1 1/2 stick of butter really 165? I live in Portugal so we don’t have sticks of butter.

[@alessandrasfoodislove]

@@vanessagasparvieira2781 hi Vanessa, I use regular butter not margerine. Each stick of butter is 112 grams.

@@vanessagasparvieira2781 maybe butter in Portugal has a higher fat content? You can also try adding a little less butter.
